Hello Everyone, I am offering the Galli Gillott for sale. It is a very fine 1959 Fleur de Lis track frame that has been modified with vertical dropouts and gear cable brazeons. There is a 'divers helmet' on the chainstay and a tunnel on the bracket. Front mech cable goes under the bracket. It has bottle cage eyes and a brazeon on the rear brake bridge for a rear brake. This work plus the white Imron paint job were done in the USA in the 1970's. The frame was built by Ron Cooper and features his signature Fleur de lis lugwork finely and evenly thinned. It comes equipped with a complete Galli gruppo except for the Stronglight A9 headset. Bars and stem are 3TTT. Bars are mod, Competitzione. Thre is a bit of rash on the tops of the 90mm stem. The Galli components are really nice and show very little use. I like the engineering and the fact it is a fresh look compared to the usual Campagnolo kit. The rims are Mavic but the labels have been removed for the total black and white look. The saddle is a black Unicanitor with the rails painted white. There are photos here on flickr http://www.flickr.com/photos/makfreak/sets/72157624545265600/ I am asking £ 1200 for this fabulous, chic, classy, desirable, collectable bicycle with a stunning groupset on it. Plus postage. Allow £135 to the USA. £30 for UK
